Glenn Beck Exposes the 5-Step Tactic Trump is Using to Get FOX News to ‘Play Ball’

Talk show host, The Blaze founder and best-selling author Glenn Beck, took to Facebook Tuesday evening following the announcement by Donald Trump that he will “definitely” not participate in Thursday’s GOP debate hosted by FOX News.

Beck opines that Trump’s boycott of the debate has nothing to do with Megyn Kelly, one of the debate moderators who Trump perceives as having a personal bias against him, but instead is a Saul-Alinsky-like tactic — a pattern — that Trump is performing in order to teach FOX News that they’d better play ball Trump’s way.

On Wednesday, a 2012 interview with Megyn Kelly surfaced in which Trump lavished praise on the FOX News host for her debate moderating skills, which appears to confirm the beginning two steps of Beck’s hypothesis.

In 2012, Trump was attempting to moderate a GOP presidential debate on Newsmax, and several candidates refused to participate. Ironically and perhaps hypocritically, Trump expressed dismay that some candidates didn’t have the “courage” to debate.
